Doesn't Framework publish the schematics for building new modules? If so, I guess if there is a market for an SD card module, one will present itself...

Ignorant question here, but I have been wondering if they keyboard/trackpad would be upgradable in the future? Still rough to release a laptop at such a high price-point with sub-par UX, but it seems possible that they could release be

Yeah, Nextcloud is not the first thing I would reach for if all you want is "simple" and "bulletproof". I am not a pro-SRE, but I have managed, with the help of backups, the successfully run a Nextcloud instance for a s

Good open source self-hostable alternatives exist! https://nextcloud.com/ (no affiliation, just a longtime happy user) is great for file sharing and even collaborative online document editing. If you do not want to host yo

Yes this is it! I was trying to describe my misgivings with this functionality and this is exactly it. You have a powerful system with a ton of edge cases where the penalty for getting a minor edge case wrong is that someone(s) dies.

I agree that the benefits seem way more obvious for a server. I already deploy all my server-side apps via Docker containers with basically no system-level dependencies! That being said, one of the main benefits I am hoping to get out of Si

I have been running Silverblue for a couple month now (after years on Debian derivatives) and I can confidently say that it is something you will either love or hate (not much room for middle ground). If you are the kind of Linux user that

So, I think we can agree that we don't have to just choose one method for improving the lives of low-income people. At the same time, it is true that some ways are more effective at producing results than others. Should we try to raise

Very interesting! Thanks for sharing! And yes, I 100% agree that more data is needed before drawing broad conclusions regarding the effectiveness of RCV (particularly when compared to FPTP). I found the discussion in the Deseret piece rega

It is a bit overly simplistic to say that voters are the true problem with American politics. Sure, people are easy to manipulate, and, at the end of the day, voters are the ones actually electing these folks into power. However, the curr

And given the current fiasco in the House, it turns out cramming so many competing ideologies into your circus tent with no plan for cooperation or compromise does not work super great....

Honest question: are you speaking from direct experience of RCV here? To me, the question of "which of these is your favorite" and "put these in order according to which is your favorite" is pretty simple. Most scenario

I have low faith in the rationality of humanity in general, but the stats seem pretty good when it comes to voters being able to understand RCV: https://www.newamerica.org/political-reform/reports/what-we-... Good

On almost every phone I have owned, battery degradation is the primary complaint that I have after the first few years of use. Unfortunately, when the battery is just glued to the back of the screen, what should be a cheep and easy fix, has

This, to me, feels like the most important comment on the page! It is great to develop a sweet new offering, but if one of the main selling points of your product is longevity, repair-ability, and long-term support, then I don't want t

Meanwhile in the real world, true convergence seems to mostly break down at the application layer. Many desktop Linux apps are not designed to work on a mobile device. It turns out that the UX in Android apps is purpose build for mobile use

I at least partially share this sentiment for hiring interviews. In that setting, the goal of any kind of coding exercise is to evaluate a persons coding skills in a real-world environment. For something like that, it does not make much sen
